8 Unifeye Planner (Roivis) Problem: Solution: Result: Which investment is needed to build a new car in the current factory layout? Identification of potential problems already at the design-stage by checking for collision between 3D-car model and real factory environment (see pictures) Time and Cost savings, AR-visualization improves communication for management decision

9 Unifeye SDK (OEM example) metaio is developing Augmented Car Navigation systems with car OEM s metaio is involved in several research projects inside the automotive domain to identify applications, requirements and solutions for In-Car-Augmented Reality metaio is seeking future OEM integrators for the Unifeye Automotive product concept 9
